Ornithine decarboxylase (E.C.4.1.1.17, ODC), the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of polyamines, has been used extensively as an indicator in studying: a) RNA, DNA and protein synthesis; b) cell proliferation ...

Recent work has suggested that the Pyr(6-A)Pyo lesion, a minor component of the DNA lesions generated after exposure to ultraviolet light, may be more mutagenic than the dominant (5-6) cyclobutane dimer. Testing this ...

Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC; E.C.4.1.1.17), is the rate-limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway in eukaryotic cells. Its activity responds to a variety of hormones and other stimuli that control cell growth ...

Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC; E.C.4.1.1.17) catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. Its activity responds to a variety of hormones and other stimuli that control cell growth and ...
